A Stack Is Counted from the Outside
Bricks are sold in stacks, and a stack is counted from the outside. The buyer walks round the pile, counts the four faces, works it out and gives a price. What gets paid comes off that. Limbani builds the four faces with whole brick, properly lined up, and puts the ones that came out cracked into the middle of the stack, where nobody sees them. He does it with every batch. Along the bank this doesn't get discussed and he doesn't bring it up.
